brutal schedule, but as a Portland resident, i'm pumped to go see some regular season action in Seattle. I always go to the preseason game there but this should be even better (but probably a blowout)_________________

I see us beating Miami, Buffalo, Jets, Texans, Cardinals, Browns we will probably finish 6-10 8-8 at best.

A lot can change though with free agency, draft, and injuries. Just look at Atlanta and Houston they were both poised for a great year and ended up worse or than us and Atlanta having the same record as us so it's hard to judge our opponents this early._________________

How anyone can start predicting next years record at this point is beyond me. We have no idea of our roster next year with half the team not signed never mind other teams._________________

In my opinion they are a joke. In the last ten years there drafts sucked.

And sigh…..…… there will be fans here expecting a rebuilding roster and Allen to win 8 games and get to the playoffs. Probably with a rookie QB they will call a bust when he's not Andrew Luck week 1.

Just curious how long should DA have to win 8 games?

4 years. That was his contract. The 2 years of "deconstruction" are throw aways. Art Shell may have as well been coaching the team. You can't evaluate a coaching staff on a team full of 1 year contracts for backup players. You also cannot evaluate them when you are starting an undrafted rookie FA and a 3rd rounder from the supplemental draft at your most important position.

We need to face the fact that the coaching staff is not the most pressing issue, and there is no coach that could achieve much with this team. The coach is just the rebuilding spokesperson.

IMO, the bigger question is how long should Reggie get to put together a decent draft and get a serviceable QB on the squad. I'll give him a pass on his first draft, but I do not think anyone will say our draft earlier this year was much of a help.
